Thanksgiving Crafts

A few weeks ago, I came across a craft when Lady Di and I were looking for soup recipes. So naturally, I enlisted someone more crafty than myself to help, Carly. So we had 26 mini turkeys to make to use for our name tags. And this funtivity includes: Candy Corn, Oreos, Reeses Peanut Butter Cups, Whoppers, and lots of frosting.

Here she is beginning to cut off the beaks for the noses (the candy corn).

This was our first attempt when we were making one complete turkey before moving on to the next. Obviously they were looking a little drunk. So we decided to regroup and start an assembly line.

Beginning with the Reeses Peanut Butter cups and Candy Corn for the arms, all lined up!
Slowly coming together but looking better since we had the assembly line.

The first completed turkey, decked out with eye balls and orange frosting feet. This one even had an attempt for a gobbler, but it was a little see through, so we decided to pass on that. But solid attempt.

All of the turkeys lined up to be placed on the table.

The finished product sitting on the table! By the end of the night, some turkeys were missing their candy corn (not because they fell off, but due to people needing a Candy Corn fix) and some were completely missing--a few people were a little hungry.
